Introduction
ISO 128-2 contains generally applicable rules for the presentation of lines in all kinds of technical
product documentation.
All figures in this document have been drawn in first-angle projection. It should be understood that
third-angle projection or other methods could have been used equally well without prejudice to the
principles established.
The application of lines within drawings of special technical fields varies considerably. Therefore, rules
of application specific to technical fields are given in Annexes B to G.
Annex A provides information for the calculation of the most important basic types of non-continuous
lines according to types of lines and their line elements.

5 Line dimensions
5.1 Line width
The width, d, of all types of lines shall be one of the following depending on the type and size of the
technical drawing. This series is based on a common ratio 1: √2 (≈1:1,4).
0,13 mm; 0,18 mm; 0,25 mm; 0,35 mm; 0,5 mm; 0,7 mm; 1 mm; 1,4 mm; 2 mm.
The widths of extra wide, wide and narrow lines are in the ratio 4:2:1.
The line width of any one line shall be constant throughout the whole line.
See Annexes B, D and F for information on line widths pertaining to construction, mechanical and
shipbuilding technical drawings.
5.2 Deviation in line width
Line widths can deviate from those specified in 5.1 providing that it is possible to differentiate
unambiguously between two adjacent lines with different widths. If technical drawing equipment
which produces constant line width is used, the deviation in line width between two such lines shall not
be greater than ± 0,1d.
5.3 Configuration of lines
For the preparation of technical drawings, the lengths of line elements should conform to those of
Table 4.

NOTE  The lengths shown in this table are valid for line elements with semi-circular and
squared ends. In the case of line elements with semi-circular ends, the length of the line
element corresponds to the distance covered by a technical pen (with a tubular tip and
using India ink) from the origin up to the end of the line element. The total length of such
a line element is the sum of the length shown in this table, plus d.

ISO 128-2:2020(E)

Formulae for the calculation of some of the basic types of lines and line elements are given in Annex A.
The formulae are intended to facilitate the preparation of technical drawings using computer-aided
design (CAD) systems.
6 Draughting of lines
6.1 Spacing
The minimum space between parallel lines should not be less than 0,7 mm.
In certain cases when computer-aided technical drawing techniques are used, the spacing of lines on
the technical drawing does not represent the actual spacing, for example for the representation of
screw threads. This has to be considered when data sets are established, for example for the operation
of machine tools.
6.2 Junctions
6.2.1 Types
The basic types of lines, nos. 02 to 06 and nos. 08 to 15, should meet at a dash to avoid ambiguity; see
Figures 7 to 12.

5 Line dimensions
5.1 Line width
The width, d, of all types of lines shall be one of the following depending on the type and size of the
technical drawing. This series is based on a common ratio 1: √2 (≈1:1,4):
0,13 mm; 0,18 mm; 0,25 mm; 0,35 mm; 0,5 mm; 0,7 mm; 1 mm; 1,4 mm; 2 mm
The widths of extra wide, wide and narrow lines are in the ratio 4:2:1.
The line width of any one line shall be constant throughout the whole line.
See Annexes B, D and F of this document for information on line widths pertaining to construction,
mechanical and shipbuilding technical drawings.
5.2 Deviation in line width
Line widths may deviate from those specified in 5.1 providing that it is possible to differentiate
unambiguously between two adjacent lines with different widths. If technical drawing equipment which
produces constant line width is used, the deviation in line width between two such lines shall not be
greater than ± 0,1d.
5.3 Configuration of lines
For the preparation of technical drawings, the lengths of line elements should conform to those of Table 4.
Table 4 — Lengths of line elements
Drawing element Line type No. Length
04 to 07 and
Dot ≤ 0,5d

Long dash ≈ 24d
08 and 09
Space 03 18d
NOTE The lengths shown in this table are valid for line elements with semi-
circular and squared ends. In the case of line elements with semicircular ends, the
length of the line element corresponds to the distance covered by a technical pen
(with a tubular tip and using India ink) from the origin up to the end of the line
element. The total length of such a line element is the sum of the length shown in
table 3 plus d.
Formulae for the calculation of some of the basic types of line and line elements are given in annex A of
this standard. The formulae are intended to facilitate the preparation of technical drawings using
computer-aided design (CAD) systems.

6 Draughting of lines
6.1 Spacing
The minimum space between parallel lines should not be less than 0,7 mm, unless rules to the contrary
are stated in other International Standards.
NOTE In certain cases when computer-aided technical drawing techniques are used, the spacing of lines
on the technical drawing does not represent the actual spacing, e.g. for the representation of screw
threads. This fact has to be considered when data sets are established, e.g. for the operation of machine
tools.
6.2 Junctions
6.2.1 Types
The basic types of lines, Nos. 02 to 06 and Nos. 08 to 15 should preferably meet at a dash; see Figures 7

Two different ways of draughting two parallel lines are shown in Figure 17 and 18.


Figure 17 Figure 18

6.4 Hierarchy of overlapping lines
The rules of overlapping type of lines are defined in Annex D.
7 Colours
Lines shall be drawn in black or white depending on the colour of the background. By default, lines are
black on a white background. Other standardized colours may also be used for technical drawing
standardized lines. In this case, the meaning of the colours shall be explained.
8 Designation
The designation of the basic types of lines shall comprise the following elements in the order given with
spaces between the elements:

a) "Line";
b) reference to this part of ISO 128;
c) dash separator
d) the number of the basic type in accordance with table 1;
e) a lower case “x”;
f) the line width in accordance with 5.1;
g) forward slash (when the colour is indicated)
h) colour (when indicated).
EXAMPLES
Designation of a line of type No. 03 (03), line width 0,25 mm (0,25):
Line ISO 128-2 - 03 x 0,25
Designation of a line of type No. 05 (05), line width 0, 13 mm (0, 13) and blue in colour:

9 Basic conventions and applications for leader lines and reference lines
9.1 Presentation of leader lines
Leader lines are executed as continuous narrow lines in accordance with this standard. They are drawn
preferably at an angle to the relevant representation and/or the frame limiting the drawing sheet, and
not parallel to nearby lines, e.g. hatching lines. The inclination to the relevant lines shall be > 15°. See
Figures 19 to 31.
Leader lines may be drawn with sharp kinks (see Figure 23), and two or more leader lines may start from
the same point (see Figures 20, 23, 25, 26 and 29). They should not cross other leader lines (see Figure
23) except when the leader line starts from the same point and are parallel (see Figure 25, 26 and 29),
reference lines or indications, such as graphical symbols or dimensional values.
Leader lines shall terminate at the end which touches the features as follows:
— with a closed and filled or a closed arrowhead as per ISO 129-1 if the leader line ends at lines which
represent outlines or edges of parts, piping or cables in plans, charts or diagrams; arrowheads are
also drawn at crossing points of these lines with other lines, e.g. lines of symmetry (see the examples
given in Figures 19 to 25);
NOTE If several parallel lines have to be designated, oblique strokes instead of arrowheads are
permitted (see IEC 61082-1). See the example given in Figure 26.
— with a dot (d = 5 x line width) if the leader line ends on the surface of an object (see the examples
given in Figures 27 to 29);
— without any termination if the leader line ends at another line, e.g. dimension line or line of symmetry
(see the examples given in Figures 30 and 31).

9.2 Representation of reference lines
Reference lines are executed as continuous narrow lines in accordance with ISO 128-2, clause 4. A
reference line may be added to each leader line or dimension line. It is drawn in one of the reading
directions of the technical drawing.
The reference line shall be drawn
— either with a fixed length, i.e. 20 x line width of the reference line (see the examples given in
Figures 33 and 34,
— or with a length adapted to the length of the indicated instructions (see the examples given in
Figures 32, 35, 39 and 40).


Figure 32 Figure 33


Figure 34 Figure 35

In particular cases of application, the reference line has to be drawn (see the example given in Figure 33).
However, the reference line may be omitted, if the leader line is drawn in one of the reading directions of
the technical drawing and if the indicated instructions are written in the same direction (see the example
given in Figure 36), and in all other cases in which this line is not applicable (see the examples given in
Figures 30, 37 and 38).
